Thank everyone. :foryou:
Hubby finally got home, I slept, played with Ethan some more.
I talked with my brother on Friday, he is a chiropractor. Now boobs are not his field but he does have medical knowledge and knows a thing or two about medical billing and such. Plus he has a matter of fact way that makes me feel better. Bottom line is he said I need the test and NOT to get ahead of myself with the worse possible outcome. I have already been there and done that. I need this test to see what I'm up against. He said NOT to worry about the cost of anything. He said pay my normal household bills first. He said most tests are a 50% markup. If need be let them all stack up, then negotiate (he said a third) or file for a medical bankruptcy.
He said he would do whatever I needed, as I knew he would. Go with me and even offered me money if I need it. I did list him as a person that could be talked with about my care. As far as telling my dad and sister he said it was my choice of course but I really don't know yet what's totally going on.
I called twice a left my number for a financial counselor at the hospital. They have not called back. Will try again on Monday. I'm suppose to see if I can qualify for assistance. I really doubt it. Test time at the woman's center was reserved for me next Wednesday morning.
I'm the type that doesn't like to burden others. It bothered me to see my friend Janice cry. I was glad she was with me but I didn't want to add to her already hectic life. She did say I would do the same for her, and I would. A little funny here. As we were waiting to see the doctor she asked if I wanted her to go back with me. I was like if she was comfortable with it I didn't care it was just a boob. I told her I'd had seen her backside a few years ago when she was in the hospital after some female surgery. So I guess we are even.
